A Gift From God


Motherhood is the most amazing experience. I love Baby so much that I have a hard time putting it into words. But even as much as love him, since he was placed on my tummy for the first time after his birth, I've had a very real sense that he is not "mine". God has just given me the wonderful opportunity to look after him for a little while. Sometimes I look at him and do not see a little helpless baby, but a mature and free-thinking person. It's hard to explain but sometimes I feel that he could have an older and wiser spirit than me. I just hope that I can be the mother that he is worthy of and that I can teach him about his past and his amazing potential. When I think about the responsibility, I get overwhelmed. I'm so glad I have the gospel in my life to help me put things in perspective and that I have a guideline for this calling.
